Walsall Leather Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Walsall, England.
The Walsall Leather Museum occupies a restored Victorian factory building and displays an extensive collection of saddles, bridles, bags, and leather accessories.
The museum opened in 1988 to document Walsall's transformation from a small market town into a major center of leather production employing 10,000 workers by 1900.
Retired leather workers demonstrate traditional crafting techniques in the museum workshops, passing down skills that have defined Walsall's industrial identity for generations.
The museum provides free admission, educational programs for schools, research facilities, and a specialized shop offering leather goods and craft materials.
Forty local manufacturers continue Walsall's leather tradition today, with several holding Royal Warrants for their exceptional saddle and bridle craftsmanship.
